When I was contacted by silk to do a review for the new Silk Pure Almond, I was very eager to give it a try. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find it in my local stores.

Each glass of Silk Pure Almond™ milk provides an excellent source of natural antioxidants, and as much calcium and vitamin D as dairy milk, with no cholesterol, saturated fat, dairy or soy. Each serving of Silk Pure Almond Original almond milk is only 60 calories, with Vanilla being just 90.

Almonds are recognized by health professionals as a nutritious addition to a healthy diet. A serving of almonds provides an excellent source of vitamin E (a natural antioxidant), and a good source of protein and fiber. In fact, almonds are higher in protein and fiber than any other tree nut. Plus, they're naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free.

Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that has been studied for its role in supporting normal heart and brain function, as well as promoting a healthy complexion. Each serving of Silk Pure Almond provides an impressive 50% of the recommended daily value of this essential nutrient. To make sure your diet includes the full spectrum of beneficial antioxidants, pile on plenty of colorful produce in addition to healthy staples like almondmilk.
